Methods: A questionnaire was developed using 2008 WHO diagnostic criteria, and thrombotic risk factors were stratified according to Landolfi criteria
Anagrelide (ANA) and peginterferon alfa-2a are second-line options for high-risk ET patients
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur
However, with the development of novel IFN formulations, JAK2 Anagrelide (Agrylin/Xagrid, Shire and Thromboreductin, AOP Orphan Pharmaceuticals AG) is a drug used for the treatment of essential thrombocytosis (also known as essential thrombocythemia), or overproduction of blood platelets
65 However, compared with PT-1, the number of patients enrolled was small, the duration of follow-up relatively short (539 patient-years compared with D'Adda M, Micheletti M, Drera M, Ferrari S, Rossi G
In 259 previously untreated, high-risk The risk of thrombosis was significantly lower in those using hydroxyurea (27

The Hydroxyurea is the recommended treatment, but many patients experience resistance or intolerance
5 However, diagnosis of ET in this trial was based on the Polycythemia Vera Study Group (PVSG) criteria14 comprising a cohort of patients with ET and with Hydroxyurea and anagrelide combination therapy in patients with chronic myeloproliferative diseases resistant or intolerant to monotherapy Acta Haematol

Anagrelide and busulfan are third-line drugs
CONCLUSIONS Hydroxyurea plus low-dose aspirin is superior to anagrelide plus low-dose aspirin for patients with essential thrombocythemia at high risk for vascular The major thrombotic event rate in the HC + anagrelide group was 1
The major thrombotic rate was similar between patients who received prior anagrelide or HC therapy (0

Response rates were similar with HU and peg-IFN in high-risk patients with ET and PV
2 Anagrelide is a unique quinazoline derivative, that is, used for treatment of thrombocytopenia, although it was initially developed as an inhibitor of platelet aggregation
hydroxyurea and anagrelide have been used widely as first-line therapies— often with low dose aspirin—in these patients, anagrelide is more expensive and previous studies have raised con-cerns about efficacy
Overall, anagrelide and hydroxyurea were well tolerated, with similar rates of discontinuations due to TEAEs
A literature search for randomized, controlled trials comparing anagrelide to hydroxyurea among patients with ET revealed two published studies
